BTW, anyone have any Eliminator sound cards they want to sell/trade me?

The converta-cabinet game I have was actually an Eliminator which was converted to a Tac/Scan (under the Tac/Scan sticker is an Eliminator sticker). The Zektor flyer does mention that it comes as a kit for Eliminator and Space Fury (notice no mention of Tac/Scan; Zektor came after Eliminator and Space Fury). Also, due to the difference of artwork between 2 different Eliminator kits, I am led to believe that Eliminator was ALSO a popular kit, as you can almost never find the early (original) version of the artwork.
